answer the questions forthwith.
Nothing is contemplated in regard to
nationality of persons appointed to
the police force; it is presumed that
| those having the appointments to
make will select from such rationale
| ties as will best suit the different local
tiles; about SO per cent. of the police
are Hawaiians, and it is not likely to
be necessary to disturb the native
Hawaiian police very much, but it
might be necessary to slightly in
crease the number Of foreigners on the
force; about SO to IS per cent. of the
police on the Island of Oahu ought to
be native Hawaiians.

Noble Smith seconded the motion.
Rep. Kinney said the restriction re-
ferred to contemplated an increase of
salary over 81, 900 if needed to secure
the right man for the position. He
was sorry that the motion just passed
had carried. The whole tenor of the
discussion when this question was be-
fore the house on a previous day was
that more salary would be voted, if
needed He hoped that some member
who had voted in the majority would
moved reconsideration.
Other members also expressed their
views to the same purpose.
Noble Hitchcock moved, seconded
by Noble Smith, Il reconsideration of
the vote.
Rep. C. Brown did not see why, if
there are physicians on the Board of

tenn and organization that the Board
of Health needed most, and anyone
could attend to the objects without
being a physician.

length by several members, after
which the question was taken on con-
sideration and carried.
